Is my mother my friend? I would have to say, first of all she is my Mother, with a capital 'M'; she's something sacred to me. I love her dearly...yes, she is also a good friend, someone I can talk openly with if I want to.

I'm an actress. It's my passion.

Success, I would find out, is interior. It has to do with self-fulfillment and the joy of living.

True happiness is impossible without solitude.... I need solitude in my life as I need food and drink and the laughter of little children. Extravagant though it may sound, solitude is the filter of my soul. It nourishes me, and rejuvenates me. Left alone, I discovered that I keep myself good company.

I'm very susceptible to sex appeal.

My philosophy is that it's better to explore life and make mistakes than to play it safe and not to explore at all.

The girl who swears no one has ever made love to her has a right to swear.
